Chapter 400

The manuscript is not long, only 70,000 to 80,000 words, but it is full of essence, without any unnecessary nonsense. Even the seemingly useless description of the environment is actually secretly confirming the character's psychology.

Betty is very good at extracting essence and describing psychology, which is completely different from Angela's cool writing.

Even Rin, who doesn't like love novels, can read tens of thousands of words with relish.

Silly Roe Deer nodded repeatedly, and his little face was almost buried in the manuscript.

"It's great, it makes my heart itch, just like me and Xiao Lin, sweet from the beginning."

Betty's face did not change: "Unfortunately, I want to write a tragedy. Love is often only tragedy that can make people remember it more. A tragedy without traces of craftsmanship and not deliberate can resonate with everyone and test the author's writing ability."

Even Silly Roe Deer, who prefers to read pink love, agrees with this.

Chapter 46 Shocked, someone proposed to the princess? !

When Rin reads books, she naturally prefers a happy ending that is fun for the whole family, but as a publisher, she is concerned about selling well.

Romance novels are targeted at women, so sales are not bad. Many girls seem to like to watch sad dramas, which can be seen from the various ratings of Shuilanxing.

Therefore, this book still has great publishing potential.

Moreover, compared with long-term serialized commercial novels, the number of words in romance novels generally does not exceed 500,000 words. The price will be higher if they take the boutique route.

When Rin was thinking, Betty was still a little nervous. She stared at Rin without blinking, and her little face was flushed.

If you don't know, you might think she is in love for the first time.

Iris also held the manuscript and read it quietly and interestingly. Even though she knew that it would end in tragedy, she was surprisingly able to accept it.

After all, I have seen too many love stories between knights and princesses, down-and-out nobles and rich girls, and princes and Cinderellas. This kind of love between a succubus and an innocent boy is the first time I have seen it.

From the beginning, it is about the heroine who is a succubus and joins the intelligence organization of succubus in humans after she becomes an adult.

That is, a shop opened in the capital. The first task she has just arrived is to contact a noble and get information from him.

This noble is a LSP and has written a manual for evaluating customs. It was once circulated wildly and regarded as a guide-like task.

The hero is a clean boy with clear eyes. Because his uncle asked for a relationship to enter the noble's house to do odd jobs, he happened to be taken in as a follower by the noble.

Then the succubus mistook the hero for a noble and tried to seduce him with the succubus skills she learned. However, because Betty didn't like exams very much, the book didn't go into details.

Instead, it uses a hazy and vague description method, so there is a sense of charm and vulgarity.

Because she is a fledgling succubus, her methods are still very immature. In a hurry, she also exposed the tail of the succubus and was recognized by the learned boy.

But the boy fell in love with her at first sight, and did not expose her, but cooperated with her to cover up.

Because of this, the succubus had some good feelings for him, but more of a curiosity, wondering why this man didn't hate the demons as much as other people.

After that, some ambiguous little things happened, until the succubus was asked by his superiors to hurry up and get information, and the story ended here.

Rin looked a bit like A Chinese Ghost Story, but as a novel, the emotional description is more delicate and the filling will be richer.

"Okay."

Finally, Rin judged the value of the book and gave Betty a very affirmative answer.

"With the current quality, there is no problem in publishing it, and I also have a way to attract popularity. It has the potential to be a bestseller, and the number of words can barely reach the level of one volume."

Betty's face bloomed with a happy smile: "I knew that Brother Rin had a good vision."

Rin thought more about how to ignite the heat. He stared at Betty for a while and suddenly slapped his head.

These publishers are still too rigid.

At Betty's age, it's okay to use the genius loli as a hot spot, isn't it?

Unfortunately, I am still in a dangerous vortex and cannot think about the subsequent money-making plan for the time being.

After coming to his senses, Rin said to Betty: "You stay with me for the time being. I will start drafting the publishing contract and other matters after I am done."

Betty had no objection to this. She had nowhere to go alone, and staying with Rin for a while was the best choice.

"Then where should I live? Let me make it clear first, I don't want to live with my sloppy, lazy and stupid sister."

Shaye immediately raised his eyes: "What do you mean? Didn't I take care of you last time?"

"Thank you for your care, but I don't want it to happen again."

Betty glanced at her useless sister lightly, and then looked at Rin eagerly.

"Live in my manor for the time being."

It just so happens that I can also act as a bodyguard. This young master is really smart.

Lin thought to herself, but on the surface she showed some disdain: "Let me make it clear first, don't mess around in my house."

"Brother Lin is really something, he has to say something extra even though he means well."

Seeing the two of them hit it off, Shaye curled her lips and cursed them as a couple.

The dead carrot head is a loser, this is obviously a real succubus, and a very annoying one, why does he have to make things difficult for me.

After the matter was agreed upon, Shaye sat on the side flipping through the book and watching in boredom, Emilia continued her tutoring, Xiye did her duty as a guard, and Silly Roe Deer and Rin continued to do experiments.

As for Betty, after her work was finished, she began to focus on arranging the next plot.

It wasn't until school ended in the evening that news finally came from the palace, which was about the edict.

The knight who delivered the order stopped Rin and quickly explained the matter, regardless of the fact that there were still students on the road.

As Rin expected, the Queen's edict was withheld by Minister Zuo, and General Ace, who had never been involved in military affairs, also stepped forward.

The reason for the blockage is simple. Whether the church can allow Rin to inherit the title at the same time is just Rin's opinion. It can only be determined after sending someone to the church to negotiate with the Pope.

Even a fool can see this delaying strategy.

However, even if Ace and Minister Zuo join forces, in Gioral, which has the most royal power, it is not enough to threaten the queen's order. At most, it will only delay it for a while, and the queen can have her own way.

But Queen Sheryl agreed and said she would send someone to the church to confirm.

"Also, did the Queen ask you to bring me anything else?"

Rin looked suspicious and stared at the knight in front of him.

The knight seemed to notice his sullenness and hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

"Hurry up and say it." Silly Roe Deer also urged him anxiously.

At this time, the knight said: "Her Majesty Catalina and General Ace have discussed with Your Majesty that if Mr. Phoenix is ​​unable to hold the position of Duke at the same time, after determining the identity of Guise, he will hold the position. Her Majesty the Queen agrees. ”

Guise was the name of the illegitimate child.

His voice was loud, causing other students who were quietly watching to look at him in surprise.

The silly roe deer's eyes widened and he was about to retort when his sleeves were pulled by Rin. When he saw Rin narrowing his eyes, the silly roe deer immediately closed his mouth and stood behind him with his head lowered.

Rin looked the knight up and down: "Is this what the queen asked you to tell me?"

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen also said that because of Her Highness Caterina's relationship, she could not directly refute it, so she could only temporarily agree."

"That's it, I understand."

"Then my subordinate will take his leave first."

The knight breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and strode away.

Betty stared at his back for a long time, then asked in a low voice: "Are you humans so abrupt when using divorce tactics?"

"I knew it was a estrangement! My mother wouldn't do that!"

Elise was stunned and said angrily: "This royal knight must be lying!"

Xiye said: "But he is indeed the one delivering the order. I have seen him several times."

"Is that because he was threatened or bribed?" Sha Ye said carelessly.

Only Fei Miao didn't say a word. His head was full of messy formulas. He felt like he was retching now. He just wanted to eat quickly to replenish his energy. He didn't want to use his brain anymore.

Lin touched Fei Miao's head and said disdainfully: "Maybe it's a spiritual suggestion, who knows, but Betty, you are wrong about one thing. This is not a divorce plan."

After all, Betty didn't know much about Rin's situation, so she was still a little confused after hearing this.

After Sha Ye gave her a brief explanation, she suddenly understood and clapped her hands.

"That guy called me over. He really had bad intentions and wanted to take advantage of me."

"Why do you say it so harshly?"

Among those present, only Rin would defend Qiyu. He explained: "It's just a mutually beneficial exchange of equal value."

The silly roe deer was still looking at his cheeks angrily: "That's too bad. I don't have such a bad aunt, Xiao Lin. If it's not a estrangement, it's nothing."

"Fool."

Rin tugged at Silly Roe Deer's stupid hair: "Look why he chose to convey the Queen's words in the presence of so many people, and his voice was not quiet."

"Yes...yes."

Silly Roe Deer looked around and saw that the students who had been watching had left and seemed to be afraid to stay around Lin.

"I almost know her plan. Whether it's the unknown illegitimate child who suddenly jumped out yesterday or the knight who passed the order, it's all just to tell everyone that I have a rival brother."

Rin covered her forehead helplessly: "It's really the style of a death seeker. It's exactly the same as the method used to frame me last time. The next one should be slander."

Xiye's red eyes flashed slightly and she put her hand on the hilt of the sword: "What to do next, my brother just tells me."

"I don't know what specific means she will use, but she is really anxious. I think it will only be here in the past two days."

Rin looked at Yuye: "Why didn't they mention you in their words? Logically speaking, you are the second in line to succeed."

Xiye said calmly: "Your Majesty already knows about my life experience. As for the general and the left minister, I must have known it from Catalina's mouth. Brother, didn't you say before that she is very likely to know?"

"Well, that's probably what happened."

Finally, Rin looked at Silly Roe Deer, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go to the palace to see the real situation.

Although the other party may have arranged everything and is waiting for him to jump in... As long as he finds an excuse to bring Xiye and Betty with him, it won't be a big problem.

The last group of people parted ways, Fei Miao and Sha Ye stayed at the school, while Rin took Xiye, Betty and Silly Roe Deer to go to the palace.

After arriving at the palace, Lin said that Betty was a disciple of the witch and came to see the queen to report something. With Lin, the princess and the sword master as guarantors, the guards did not stop them.

However, Lin and his friends did not see Cheryl and Eve, but saw the head maid who seemed to have been waiting for them.

The head maid nodded to a few people, and then said: "The prince and the delegation of the Antia Empire have arrived. Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty Eve are receiving them."

"The prince of Antia?"

The first thing that came to Lin's mind was the black charcoal with a smirk on his face.

"Yes, it's the second prince. Antia had already exchanged letters with the emperor of Antia. The emperor of Antia intended to promote a marriage between the two countries. This time, he came to discuss the marriage. He also knew Her Majesty Catalina and specifically mentioned that he wanted to meet Master Lin. So His Majesty will hold a banquet later. He can't leave now, so he asked me to remind Master Lin to be careful."

Rin's brows were already frowned at that time.

All this is too much of a coincidence.

Sure enough, the head maid continued, "The second prince of Antia has always been interested in the throne. He once clearly expressed his refusal to marry the emperor of Antia. Now he suddenly changed his mind. I don't know whether he gave up the throne or had other purposes. Her Majesty thinks this is very suspicious."

"It is indeed very suspicious... Then what about the imperial edict?"

"Because of the sudden arrival of the envoys and the obstruction of the left minister, the imperial edict will be issued tomorrow."

A cold light flashed in the corner of Lin's eyes.

Just ask if it is a coincidence.

During the period of martial law and arrest, the queen sister came back one moment, and the imperial envoy arrived the next moment.

It seems that her intention to deal with me may be just incidental. After all, just to prevent me from inheriting a duke is a bit too much.

There must be other conspiracies and tricks, all in the back hand.

Lin adjusted her strategy and introduced Betty to the head maid. Her identity is the direct disciple of the Witch of Life Xiang. She is here to protect Lin and hopes that she can be allowed to accompany her in and out of the palace.

There was no need to report this to the Queen, the head maid had already agreed.

The next step was to ask Rin to get ready, as they would all be seated later.

After the head maid left, several people sat down and discussed the strange coincidence that had occurred.

The conclusion they came to was exactly the same as Rin's initial thoughts.

This second prince might really be here to ask for marriage, after all, there had been a letter of negotiation, but it was definitely related to Katarina, at least his sudden appearance today was to help delay time.

After waiting for more than two hours, the dinner finally started.
